Yes, this is what is happening. When the window decoration comes from
the window manager, then minimizing a window via the icon does not call
any GNUstep code. If on the other hand you minimize via the menu, the
GNustep code gets activate (You may set the environment option
GSAppOwnsMiniwindow to prevent this).
